Each painting begins with an emotional state, a mood, sometimes evoked by a photograph. Color is chosen to accompany that state, and then the interpretation upon canvas ensues. Certainty! Terror! Delight! Horror! Relief! Subtlety! Embarrassment! and Certainty again! in a cycle that is steadfast. Some works are completed within a few weeks or even hours, others - months or even years. I’m happy to host any and all states. I know that I am lucky to receive.
